Any woman who kills her child/children cannot possibly be called a Mother. Ogre comes to mind but even they are probably better mothers.

OCEAN CITY, Md. -- Investigators found three tiny bodies wrapped in plastic and hidden at the home of a woman who was charged last week with killing her newborn child, police said Monday.

None of the bodies was full-term, and only one of the four deaths was recent, said Ocean City Police spokesman Barry Neeb. "The rest could be a number of years old," he said.

Two of the bodies were found in a trunk in Christy Freeman's bedroom, and another was in a garbage bag found in a motor home parked in her driveway, police said. The remains were sent to the office of the chief medical examiner in Baltimore to determine the causes of their deaths, their ages and if all were related to Freeman. (Source.)

It is a very shocking thing to find news of a bear in St. Johns County. I guess the good news is there is one less bear. The bad news is the three bikers that paid the price for just taking a bike ride. It sounds like a black bear caused a huge accident.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Three bikers were rushed to an area hospital after they hit and killed a bear that was running across Interstate 95 Saturday night.According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a group of six motorcycles was headed northbound on Interstate 95 just south of State Road 207 about 9 p.m. (Source.)

Jack McClellanHis face and name should be where very parent can see it.

He is the worst kind. A monster who uses his website to feed the need of pedophiles all over the world.

McClellan has recently been featured in national and local news reports in which he admits operating an Internet website catering to pedophiles. It is reported that McClellan traveled all over Washington State and photographed young girls in public settings. In the news reports McClellan admits being a pedophile who is sexually attracted to young girls.

This convict committed his crime of raping, beating, and brutally murdering an 86 year old woman on Christmas Eve at her home. Victor Kennedy was executed on August 6, 1999 for this crime as a co-defendant. (Justice was half served.)

This convict has the opinion that the lethal injection procedure is unconstitutionally cruel. I wonder if the convict would like a group of volunteers (I would volunteer), to come into his cell and beat him to death (like he did his Victim) and then let the convict decide what would be a better way to bring about final justice.

I read things online and in the newspaper and I cannot believe what I am reading.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- A woman has been charged with keeping four malnourished teenagers and five adults, some mentally disabled, in her home and handcuffed together, police said Thursday.When Judith Leekin, 62, would leave her home she bound the teenagers, ages 15 to 17, and adults together, police spokesman Deputy Robert Vega said.

The investigation began when police were called to a supermarket July 4 because Leekin had apparently left an 18-year-old girl there, Vega said. The girl told police Leekin was her adoptive mother and that she had been living with her since she was 5, Vega said. (Read more.)

I guess I have done quite a lot of unfit mother posts and now here is one of an unfit father.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. --A 36-year-old Jacksonville man accused of leaving two children alone in his vehicle Wednesday afternoon while he was playing poker was arrested and booked into the St. Johns County Jail on a charge of child neglect.

According to authorities, the older boy told the deputy that his father, Terrence Davis, was inside the Poker Room. The deputy went inside and had security page Davis, who said he had been gambling for about 15 minutes and had only played four or five hands while the children were alone in the vehicle outside.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. --Gov. Charlie Criston Wednesday signed his first death warrant since taking office in January, ending a temporary halt on lethal injections that was imposed because of a botched execution last year.

It was not botched. Diaz was wiggling around and made it difficult to insert the instrument of his death (as opposed to the same courtesy Diaz gave his victim (a gun shot)).

Mark Dean Schwab, 38, is scheduled to be executed Nov. 15, Crist said. Schwab was sentenced to death in 1992 for the kidnapping, rape and murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez of Cocoa. He targeted the boy after seeing his picture in a newspaper.

The Death Penalty was made for a monster like Schwab. Although November is a long time away it looks like he will miss Thanksgiving Dinner at the State Facility. I feel the tax burden easing some what.

Schwab was convicted of first-degree murder, sexual battery upon a child and kidnapping of a child under 13. (Source.)

During an April 25 drug raid at the property, authorities seized 66 dogs, including 55 pit bulls, and equipment commonly used in dogfighting. About half the dogs were tethered to car axles with heavy chains that allowed the dogs to get close to each other, but not to have contact, an arrangement typical for fighting dogs, according to the search warrant affidavit.

Investigators seized a "rape stand," used to hold dogs in place for mating; an electric treadmill modified for dogs; a pry bar used to open the clamped mouths of dogs; and a bloodied piece of carpeting.

Vick, who is in the process of selling the property, said he rarely visits the home and was unaware of any crime that might have been taking place there. His cousin, Davon Boddie, was living in the house at the time of the raids. (Source.)

This is why. Even for 14 year olds who are committing adult crimes. This victim and her son will have to live with this the rest of their lives.

From what I understand you cannot get the death sentence unless you murder someone here in Florida. It sounds like the system is broken. It needs fixing. I think the best form of execution was the firing squad. That is just my opinion.

They cannot find enough funding in the budget to keep the Police Officers on the street but they have the funds for a frigging dog park. Here is my fix. Have the dog owners buy a home with a bigger yard and then, fence it in themselves. No need of a silly-assed dog park. We don't have enough parks for children, but, when this bit of madness goes through the we are the proud recipients of a dog park. I would rather have one more Police Officer on the job rather than a dog shit collecting park.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Most dogs love the freedom of playing without being hindered by a leash, and owners in San Marco will soon have a dog park nearby where their precious pets can do just that. (Source.)

San Antonio Texas was after about six weeks in Basic Training, a wonderful sounding place where we were to have our first Liberty. We all boarded a bus and headed towards San Antonio. Everyone was jubilant. I went there for some sightseeing (Chicks) and pizza or some other fast food (I was a fast food junkie).

We went to see the Alamo. I would say it is a must see. If only digital cameras were around then. This part of the trip I enjoyed completely.

Then it was off to the San Antonio Zoo! We heard a rumor about Chicks going to the Zoo, because that was what Chicks did back then I guess with no risk of getting impregnated.

After the dry run at the Zoo we headed over and found a Pizza Hut. We sat down and gorged ourselves on pizza, pasta, salad and many, many bread sticks. Over gallons of Coke-Cola we then discussed tattoos. Myself being patriotic as hell thought about a U.S.A.F. on my shoulder. Then, there was to be the American Flag. Then, in addition to the Flag was a "Live Free Or Die" near the Flag.

I never once considered a rebel flag, anything with flames, Mom, skull, spider, Scorpions, (although I like the rock band) or most anything I could imagine at the time. When we arrived at the tattoo parlor I was asking myself; what do you really want on your arm? It may be where ever you put it for the rest of your life so I needed to be sure this is what I wanted.

I opted not to get any skin illustrations done that day because I wanted to be sure of what it was, where it was, and how big it was going to be.

The "tattoo community" is a bunch of freaks trying to normalize what is abnormal. The story in the Orlando Slantinal says it all.

This is a story about some poor bastard with no foresight at all. He and the so called "Tattoo community: live for the now, never considering that they may live a very long time and may look like freaks from a circus sideshow when all is said and done. He made a choice to run a tattoo parlor and that may well his only job for the rest of his life.

It does not look cool to be tattooed from head to toe. It is a fetish and just plain freaky. To expect someone to hire you when you look like a speckled freak is unreasonable. It tends to make someone question your mental capabilities being covered in Tattoos. There are more people out there who do not want to see the tattoos or be served by someone who is a tattooed mess. It makes ill when I see the tattoos. I do not go to places where there are tattoo covered people I have to deal with for services. This means stores lose business when they hire tattooed employees.

Being overly/excessively tattooed and criminal activity are synonymous.

In closing it seems that more and more young people are not able to think beyond now.

He is organizing an advocacy group to fight for greater tolerance for those with visible tattoos.

They screw up. Then they want to form advocacy groups to help fix the short sighted decisions they made when they were younger. I believe that parenting is a big issue here.

The guy in the story wised up a little too late and now he has to deal with his prior decisions just like everyone else. Some of us made different choices.

Have a safe and happy 4th today and take at least a minute and remember that Freedom is not free. Someone had to pay for it and others today still are. God Bless our Troops. When they are done bring them home. What they are doing is allowing us to do what we are doing.
